Last couple of days have been somewhat uneventful. The weather has been
exceptionally good - no wind and relatively clear skies, and this has
allowed us to get out for hikes around the station .
Yesterday, Zane and I went for hike in the backyard right after lunch. Clambered on rocks and snow for about an hour and a half. Heard a large crack from the glacier and thought for sure that we were going to see a gonzo calving event -- but it was not to be.
Oh well, it was gorgeous anyway and we captured a few nice pics.

| Found this lonely cormorant. There are lots of cormorants all around the station. Amazing range for these animals since I have seen them in Florida and even India. |

| This was taken along the side wall of the glacier. Can clearly see the various striations in the ice which represent the age of the glacier (likes rings in a tree trunk). It is amazing to think that this ice I am standing next to, fell as as snow over 100,000 years ago. |

| Perfect Reflection -- this was taken in the Hero's inlet. As you can see, no wind! |

| Pulled out one more picture of the gorgeous sunset on April 21. Breathtaking! |
